Thanks heaps guys, if only I had the money.

I was talking to somone in an Import shop (not giving away names) and they told me that the Autech R33 sedan was not able to be complied in Australia because controlled crashes have not been performed on them. Is this true???

HPI had a story on a black skyline 4 door that had a gtr conversion - this is probably the same. Still, if someone is keen, they should check it out - if its done properly it might still run well.

I'm pretty sure it was in speed magazine, not hpi though i could be wrong.. Pretty sure its the one out of the mag..

Its not real, thats the one Ernest Parry built a few years ago and yes it was in HPI. Its still missing the few touches that make a R33 GTR sedan different - ie series 3 xenon lights, interior etc. A propper Autech R33 4 door goes for much more than what he's asking.

there is a ture one up at mooloolabah I have seen it parked there a couple of times but never find the owner :D

is this what u are talking about.....

there is a proper impul version up here yes, had the plates 25.MAT on it, been for sale for ages, but its not a GTR its only a 4 door impul version. with a few tasteful mods.

he has been a member on this site ages ago but havent seen him around for a while.

now doesnt have the plates, only has standard ones on it, i see it most days going to work.

here is a link to it for sale.

Ok he just got back to me. It has been made from an R33 V-spec GTR with Autech parts, flared rear quarters and door. Made by Skyline Imports QLD.

VIN is 6U9000ENR33005578

Booya,h yeah I was 99.9% sure it was his old one, used to see it a fair bit so knew the trim/wheels.

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
